Cage Rage - A Nicolas Cage Podcast
THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT (2022)
Season 4, Ep. 23
•
It's a MASSIVE episode for Cage/Rage as the podcast turns 100 episodes old this week as we finally find ourselves caught up with Cage (for now, at least)!
I'm joined by writer, critic and podcast host, Lucy Buglass, to talk about the meta action-comedy, THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT!
Trying not to die while this was recorded during a record-breaking heatwave, we talk: the bromance with Pedro Pascal, Nick Cage memorabilia, how the film deals with our perceptions of Cage, Paddington 2 and much, much more!
EDIT: In the outro, I somehow very stupidly neglected to thank my wonderful friends, Joe Banevicius and Fred Holmes, who both sacrificed their time to talk about Trapped in Paradise with me. Please forgive me. I'm an idiot with a silly brain and your continued support has never gone unnoticed!
